Aspire Chanel Swim Challenge- with a twist!

Welcome to the blog where I'll be telling you about my aspire channel swim challenge!



You'll probably know by now but I'll explain, the Aspire channel swim raises money for a spinal chord injuries charity, participants swim 22 miles in their local pool over 12 weeks. http://www.aspirechannelswim.co.uk/



I have decided to swim 44 miles, in 22 pools over the next 12 weeks to try to gain as much sponsorship as possible!



Aspire work with people who have sustained a spinal chord injury, the NHS can only provide so much. Aspire assist with independent living, provide adapted stop gap housing for when people get out of hospital, assistive technology (so that anyone, regardless of the level of their injury can use a computer), they provide human needs grants to assist with the purchase of much needed equipment and they work in sports development, amongst other things. Please, please read their website- this is a very worthy cause. http://www.aspire.org.uk/

Monday 27th November- Village Hotel, Cardiff

Well guys, this being my third day swimming in a row, and having moved offices and then driven to Cardiff, I was exhausted! I struggled through the first quarter mile, and was close to calling it a day! So I went in the steam room and the ecalyptus revived me sufficiently to do another half. I also met a fellow aspire swimmer! Turned out she still had 5 nmiles to go - and was only doing the 22 mile challenge- that also spured me on. So just the 0.75 miles for Monday - however (drumroll!) this was my 22nd pool!

40.5 Miles, 22 pools
